Who said No Limit can't produce singles?
No Limit Records is used to having #1 records, but #1 singles? That's right, No Limit has scored a #1 single. With the release of the "It Ain't My Fault 1&2" single form Silkk and Mystikal, No Limit has done what many people, including No Limit fans never thought they could do, score a #1 hit. In fact No Limit is storming the R&B singles charts right now. Aside from the #1, they also have: "Woof" by Snoop, Feat. Fiend and Mystical - #4, and "Whatcha Wanna Do" by Mia X - #17. "It Ain't My Fault" is also #20 on the Billboard Hot 200. Is this a new angle for NL? I don't know, but one thing's for sure, there is No Limit to what they can do. Check my NL on da Billboard section to see where the latest NL albums stack up.

Ricky Williams to sign with No Limit Sports

Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams has decided to sign with Master P and become the most recognized athlete in the ever expanding No Limit Sports world. Williams is expected to one on of the top 3 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Personally I think he will be 2nd behind my boy Tim Couch. Anyway, the all time NCAA rushing leader is excited and glad he made this decision despite all of the critics telling his not to.

"It's dope," Pun told the MTV Radio Network, "because you know it's two of the strongest families in hip-hop. Everybody knows that we the realest and illest MCs comin' up right now." The new clip was shot at New York City's legendary hip-hop club, the Tunnel, and marks the first time a No Limit artist has filmed a video in the Big Apple. Mr. Serv-On's album, "Da Next Level," also features appearances from such members of the No Limit family as Master P, C-Murder, Mystikal and Mia X, and is due to arrive in stores on February 16.

Master P Dropped By Charlotte Hornets

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. After months of speculation, the question about Percy Miller the rapper becoming Percy Miller the NBA player has finally been put to rest. Rapper and No Limit Records CEO Master P saw his bid to become an NBA player end on Monday when he was waived by the Charlotte Hornets. P had been in training camp with the Hornets since camp began last month and made the cut when the squad trimmed its roster to 16 last week . However, the Hornets told MTV News on Monday that P had been waived, just four days before the season is scheduled to begin on Friday. In two exhibition games with the Hornets over the weekend (both against the Atlanta Hawks), P played a total of eight minutes going 0-for-3 from the floor and 2-for-2 from the free throw line. He also tallied two assists and one rebound in the two games.

Notes from the NL Rumour Mill Mia X

First of all Mia X is rumored to be getting married soon. We don't know who the guy is yet, but we'll keep you posted.

If anyone knows any other rumours, please e-mail me and let me know.

P Hangs Tough With Hornets As Season Nears Master P might make the NBA after all. The rapper/CEO is still hanging tough with the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, and remains part of their 16-man training camp roster. As we first reported last week Miller arrived in Charlotte last Thursday for the team's training camp. One week later, P is still with the squad after scoring seven points in an intrasquad scrimmage last weekend. The next hurdle will come for P next Thursday, February 4, when the Hornets trim their 16-man roster down to the 14 who will start the season with the team (after the first two weeks of the season, the roster will be pared down again to 12). A spokesperson for the Hornets told MTV News that it is likely that an injury will keep guard Glen Rice (another of the 16 players filling a slot on the Hornets current roster) from starting the season with the team, so the Hornets may only have to cut one more player before the start of the season. P, who is wearing the number 0 with the Hornets, has been playing guard with the team.

January 17, 1999

P ballin in tha NBA? I got some news today from a source in Oak Cliff (Dallas) that confirmed he saw P on the local news at a Mavericks practice. They were doing a piece on how the Mavericks trained while all Coach Nelson could do is watch from above. They showed Steve Nash streching his back(lying down) when a pair of Adidas walked in front of him. Slowly the camera looked up this cat's body and when they got to the face it was P. He was decked out in official Nike Mavericks practice gear and was bouncing the ball. Thanx gsearles!

Like "Ghetto Fabulous", it also didn't move on the R&B charts coming in at 15th for the second strait week.

Those expecting the former aide of Louis Farrakhan to shoutout to artists like Public Enemy, KRS-One and the Coup got a big surprise: "No Limit Records and Brother Master P!" The crowd took his cue issuing "Uuunnghs!" of approval, prompting Muhammad to chant, "Holla if ya hear me!" Although the non-profit Master P Foundation comfirms donating money to the event, reps didn't return phone calls inquiring about the exact amount, and P's camp firmly states that the Master wouldn't have contributed if he knew Muhammad was involved.
